Weight

Weight is how heavy something is with gravity acting on it
Another way of saying this is:
The weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on it

Weight is measured in Newton's (N) or kiloNewtons (kN)

Weight (N) is calculated by:
Taking the mass of something and multiplying it by the gravity of the planet (10m/s2)

W = mg
